LUC Besson sure isn’t messing with the formula that made the two Taken movies such monster hits. The only major difference is it’s Kevin Costner, rather than Liam Neeson who plays a US tourist in danger on the mean streets of Paris.

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Vivi Delay (Costner) is offered a drug that could save his life – but only if he accepts a mission to eliminate an arms trafficker called the Wolf.

The shootouts and car chases through Paris mean action film fans get their fix but the excitement is undermined by the story’s familiarity and Vivi’s by-the-numbers attempts at reconnecting with his little girl. Missable.
